Lecrae to kick off Unashamed Tour 2012 in October, to hold album release parties in Denver, Houston and Manchester, UK

He is releasing his seventh studio album, Gravity, on September 4th and his 5th annual Unashamed Tour kicks off October 4th in Pittsburgh. Unashamed Tour 2012: Come Alive will visit 30 cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta. Label mates Trip Lee, Tedashii, Andy Mineo, KB and Pro will be featured on the tour.

Gravity will feature music from Mali Music, Mathai (The Voice) Trip Lee, Tedashii and production from DJ Khalil, Street Symphony’s Heat Academy and The Watchmen. As part of the release of the album, Lecrae will be celebrating with fans holding release parties in Manchester, UK (9/22), Denver, CO (9/27) and Houston, TX (9/28). Tickets will go on sale on July 20th at the Reach Records website.

“With the release of ‘Gravity’ I really wanted to expand on my previous work while still making sure to keep it all very authentic to who I am as an artist as well as a person,” states Lecrae.

“When I released ‘Church Clothes’ earlier this year, it was the precursor of what’s come with this album. It introduced my music to new audiences, allowing me to impact others.”
